desertcart.com: Carry On, Mr. Bowditch: A Newbery Medal–Winning Adventure About Courage and Mastering the Seas: 9780618250745: Latham, Jean Lee, Walsh, Mary R.: Books

Review: Navigation Made Fun - Embark on a whirlwind adventure over the highseas in the life of Nathaniel Bowditch. He was a clever man and frankly made me sad that my ability to do math is so abysmal. Great book though. Also good for educational purposes, as the author is a foremost authority in historical studies.
Review: An incredible true story! - This book just goes to show that the really good stories are not made up. Bowditch's story reads like a fiction novel never could! From indentured servitude to one of the most important men the Navy has ever had! This man, from the humblest of beginnings, change the way that navigation is done around the world. His impact is so great that his book of navigation is found on every US ship to this day! If ever you need confirmation of that, take a tour on the USS Midway and go through the map room. You'll find his book probably displayed on the shelves! We got the audio edition, and listen to it as a family. Very expertly red, the reader makes the book fun and interesting even for the Young ones! This is a book that we are very glad to have gotten, and we will definitely listen to this one again and again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great read for a young teen.
*by D***Y on February 19, 2026*

This book was given as a gift to a 14-year old who has said he wants to become a merchant marine. I had no idea how to encourage him in this endeavor, asked ChatGPT what might help, and it recommended this book. I found three chapters online for free, read them myself, and quickly saw that it would hold the interest of a kid. Think "Tom Sawyer" at sea.
